    There or not there?

    I was at the Dortmund game on Wednesday and it was clearly brilliant. But, as I always do, on leaving the stadium, I read the BBC live text and checked out the SC match thread to see if my experience was shared. I was a little surprised to read all the unanimous praise that spewed forth. I’ve...

    Look who my girlfriend saw today...

    She was out this afternoon in a cafe in Hampstead. She told them that her boyfriend was a massive Spurs fan and that he’d be really jealous when she told me who she’d seen and they laughed. But I’m totally not ‘cos I’m like 38 and I’m totally beyond that kind of thing - it’s for babies! (??)

    Laughable fellow Spurs fans at the game

    Just on my way back from Chelsea game. The man two rows behind me, every time Spurs lost the ball, said something like this: “Time to rest for me now boys! Now you need to show me! Let’s not let them back into it. Now you need to show me. Foyth - don’t do that, be better! Now you need to show...

    Joe Hart

    What's everyone's thoughts on this emerging saga? My initial reaction (whilst I don't massively rate Hart) was: 'you can't drop him!! He's the heart and soul of that club. You won't find a much better keeper. Blah blah blah'. But, then I thought, Guardiola (or Pep, as he likes me to call...

    World Cup 1966 - Alfie's Boys

    Just watching the documentary finish on BBC 2. Really enjoyed it - it's made me quite emotional and nostalgic, but I was only born in 1980 so dunno where that came from. I didn't realise Alf sounded so posh. Or that he had elocution lessons and was actually from Dagenham! I took many more...

    Those Away Days...

    I just tried to start this post by saying 'I vaguely...' but I obviously mistyped and my phone auto-corrected it as, something along the lines of, 'I bagsy girlies...'. So I decided to start again. I vaguely remember, years ago, posting on here about those great 'Away Day videos'. I also...

    Mauricio Pochettino 2015-2016

    I'm aware of the 'Poch has been confirmed as manager thread' so perhaps this post should be lumped in there, but I think that now we're almost one and a half seasons into his reign it's time to devote a new thread to how the man's getting along. Mods - do your thing if you feel the need! The...

    The Bestest Team ever

    You know that bit of your head that tells you to shut the fuck up 'cos you're too pissed to speak? Sometimes, it's really hard to listen to that. I'm gonna write this anyway! SPURS ARE THE BESTEST!!!!! (I win!!!!!)

    Polarised Community

    So, I'm a long time reader and very occasional past poster on this forum. Every year, I notice there are distinct positive/negative camps as to our outlook for the season. There are always those who say we're up shit creek, we need better players, a better manager, this or that better tactic...

    The Quirkiness of White Hart Lane

    I don't remember seeing a thread on this etc... White Hart Lane is an unusual ground in that the hardcore home support are a) right next to the away supporters b) split into 2 different stands. I'm think I'm right in saying that's unusual? What's everyone's thoughts on that set-up and how it...

    Ah the cups! That's more like it...

    I'll be honest: I've spent the last 6 years worrying and wanting us to get top 4. I fretted a lot. "Top 4, top 4, top 4, top 4," I thought. I was obsessed. Last night made me remember. I think I'd forgotten how great it feels to be involved in a classic cup tie. Surely, the whole point of...

    The Perfect Perspective...?

    My name's TheSpillage and I'm a Yid. There, I admit it: I support Spurs. Been browsing/obsessively combing these forums for about 18 months now without ever really thinking about contributing anything. I don't really know why I decided to do this now so don't ask. I've not got much to say...
